  • BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
    BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants. Have a taste of fried Chinese Lumpia, Kuchay Empanada and Misua Guisado at Quick Snack located along Carvajal Street; Kiampong Rice and Peanut Balls at Café Mezzanine; Kuchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings and the growing famous Beef Kan Pan of Lan Zhou La Mien.

  • The Filipino Ringside Community: National Identity and the Heroic
    THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Washington, DC April 30, 2009 THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Mirjana Dedaic, PhD ABSTRACT One of the main parallels between sport and national identity is that they are both maintained by ritual and symbolism. In the Philippine context, the spectator sport of boxing has grown to be a phenomenon in recent years, perhaps owing to the successive triumphs of contemporary Filipino pugilists in the international boxing scene. This thesis focuses on the case of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao whose matches bring together contemporary Philippine society into a “ringside community”, a collective united by its support of a single fighter bearing the brunt for the nation. I assert that Pacquiao’s stature has transcended that of the sports realm, as he is constructed as a national (i.e., not just sport) hero. As such, I study this phenomenon in two ways. The first part of my analysis focuses on how a narrative of heroism has been instilled in Philippine society through the active promotion of its past heroes. Inherent to this study’s discussion of the Filipino ringside community and heroism is the notion of the habitus. Defined by Pierre Bourdieu as a set of inculcated dispositions which generate practices and perceptions, “a present past that tends to perpetuate itself into the future by reactivation in similarly structured practices” (Bourdieu, 6), the concept of habitus can be directly applied to how the need for a heroic narrative has been inculcated within Philippine contemporary society.

  • A Requiem for Cementerio Balicbalic, Sampaloc, Manila (1884-1925)
    NOTE: DRAFT VERSION (Citations for references are not complete. Numbers in red bold are guides to the slideshow presentation that accompanied the delivery of paper). For comments/reactions, please send email to [email protected]) Paper Delivered During the 19th Annual Manila Studies Conference, Colegio de San Juan Letran, Muralla Street, Intramuros, Manila, Aug 31-Sept 1, 2010 A Requiem for Cementerio Balicbalic, Sampaloc, Manila (1884-1925). By Martin R. Gaerlan INTRODUCTION (1) Good Morning and Thank you. ( 2) For this researcher, trying to recapture the past and recovering whatever remains of the dead story of Cementerio Balicbalic, started as a personal and pastoral, rather than an academic or professional research endeavour. During the many pastoral planning workshops in the early 1990’s, the Most Holy Trinity Parish (MHTP) pastoral council leaders often faced a blank wall, a corporate amnesia if you will, on the beginnings of the parish prior to 1925. (3) The parish leaders recognized that they needed to remember. They needed to remember and lay to rest the untold story of this once sacred ground for the dead. Certainly, there were the oral tales, best told during the late evening parish workshops, of the old church grounds littered with tombstones, or of finds of human skeletal remains, or of the encounter with some ghostly apparition. (4) One particular story links the place name Balicbalic to a peculiar funeral procession practice of the residents of San Miguel, Manila. Atong P. Reyes (1982), in an article published in the 50th Anniversary Souvenir program of MHTP, described how the funeral entourage navigated their way towards Cementerio Balicbalic in a strange reluctant manner.i After taking twenty steps forward, someone shouted “balic” which was repeated a number of times.
